Cibola is a head-to-head race to find the Seven Cities of Gold. In Cibola, players seek to collect and place the five required keys to unlock each of the seven gold statues. Players can use various tools and cunning to hinder their opponent. There are also Silver (wild) statues for players to unlock. However, these will cause players to decrease their hand limit by one card, making their journey all that much harder. The game ends once one of the two players has unlocked all seven statues.
